Inveda Sun Screen Cream Gel SPF 30 PA - Review

I received the Inveda Sun Screen Cream Gel in my May Fab Bag and just in time for my Thailand trip. I decided to take this sunscreen and the matte SPF 30 sunscreen by Banjaras. I intended to use Inveda Sun Screen Cream Gel on my face and neck, and Banjaras’ sunscreen on rest of my body.

When I used both of them at the same time, it gave me an excellent opportunity to field test it, and the observation/outcome was quite an eye opener.

Before I reveal my observation, let’s look at what the product has to say about itself.

Non-sweating and broad spectrum sun screen cream gel. Enriched with Gotukola & Cucumber, this Cream Gel protects skin from harmful UVA/ UVB rays of the Sun. The blend of natural ingredients acts as a barrier & prevents from tanning, pigmentation, as well as from premature ageing of the skin. It suits all skin types.

This is an awesome sunscreen, great for hot weather. Though it's not a non-sweating formula like it claims, it also does not make my face oily. Moreover, I don’t have that whitish veil on my face. The whitish cast may go unseen on fairer complexion and can be forgiving on slightly dark or medium complexion, but on a dusky and dark skin, it looks horrible.

I love the cream+gel consistency and it blends really well. In no time, it looks like I haven’t even applied it. It reminds me so much of the Emolene Cream Gel I use. It feels really light and gives a non-greasy and dewy finish.

Here’s a pic showing what an incredible failure the Banajara’s sunscreen was.

Banjara's sunscreen result

My face is tanned from this trip. This is mainly because I had forgotten to wear sunscreen on some occasions. But during my trips to the beach, I had worn sunscreen and protected my face from getting extremely tanned.

I have seen this product on online only. This is not a big disadvantage for me, but might be for some.

Pros:

Affordable

100% veg

Not tested on animals

Free of Parabens

Easily absorbed by the skin

No whitish veil

Non-greasy and dewy finish.

Cons:

It’s not a non-sweating formula

Available online only

Verdict:

This will be my go-to sunscreen and I recommend this one to oily skinned beauties too.
